What kind of shoes do you guys use to ride in?
Just old sneakers with about half a sole left per shoe. Or Dunlop Volleys, but I try to avoid that because the metal pinned pedals rip them up too quickly.

I use a pair of really worn out sneakers with a fair amount of ankle support. The toe of the right shoe has come of the sole and I have a gliding hole in the right sole. The left shoe is in slightly better shape. Unicycling really kills shoes.
I still use my Adidas “Sambas” They have the waffle design on the front half and a funky design on the back, the grip is great, and they are chick magnets…
any skating shoe is good for riding. I buy really cheap ones, and only use those for unicycling. Because unicycling doesn’t destroy them too fast, or too much for just riding in.
I ride in my 10 months old path skateshoes (and they are lookin like pure slicks on some spots), but it’s kind of slippery, with the f*cking standard pedals i have, and besides that, it is cold and slippery on the road!
But i’m making progress, now i can jump up sidewalks and ride along, as long as it’s not wet my pedals donesn’t get slippery, because… it was -13 C when i were out training last night, and then it freezes pretty fast.
man, i’m jealous 
I prefer skate shoes, mostly és becous of there comfort.

I haven’t tried them, but I beleive vans shoes would work extremely well for uniing. They seem to have a tread pattern that would grip pedals very well.
2005 SIXSIXONE DUALLYS
Has anyone tried the new design yet? They look pretty nice.
I was looking on a b*ke trials site and saw a pair of Monty trials shoes.
That would be somethin.

As of one month ago 661 was shipping the old style. Missed it by that much…
They are gread riding shoes, but are really improved by replacing the
footbed. Also, I wonder if others have had any roblems with their
duallys - the tongue fell off one of mine.

mine are pretty new, but john’s (johnglazer) developed a hole in the bottom after many months of riding.
$25 Brahma Cruzer’s. Good tread (my pedals stick to them annoyingly some times), and steel toed for those muni rocks 
I wear my Nike running shoes when I ride. Not the best ankle support, but you cant beat it for pedal grip.
I shall continue to wear mine until there is more hole than shoe.
Rockport Pro Walkers…Ultimate comfort
A stiff soled Airwalk or Vans for Muni (stiff equals less foot bruising on drops) and Converse hightops for freestyle. The cons are soft and bend around a rock hard freestyle tire which adds control for WWing et al.

I used to ride in my K-Swiss but they were getting torn up super fast by the pins in my pedals, so I got myself a cheap pair of Vans cuz they were sexy and on sale, and as it happens the waffle design on the bottom of the whole shoe provides a perfect matrix for my pinned pedals to sort of ‘click’ into. It’s a loose connection but it does allow me a critical extra bit of grip when applying pressure in a way such that another shoe would slip off. But if not Vans, I’d recommend just any skate shoe, preferably one that interfaces well with your particular pedal design.
